About Sara Shonfeld - Rabbi & Interfaith Officiant

I am an ordained Interfaith Rabbi and an Interfaith wedding officiant. , I was born and raised in Israel where I studied education, music education and Jewish- studies. In the past ten years I have had the honor to officiate Jewish, interfaith, spiritual, non-denominational, and civil ceremonies in Long Island, NY and the tri-state area. What a blessing it is to be part of my couples' most special day of their life!My ceremonies are personalized, inclusive, welcoming, warm and joyful. I will work with you to create the ceremony that you will feel most connected to. My goal is that every one of your guests will feel included and connected.For Jewish and interfaith ceremonies, I chant the prayers and Blessings with the original melodies in native fluent Hebrew. I work with each couple individually and tailor your own ceremony for you and your families. Often, I co-officiate a Jewish Interfaith wedding along with a priest, pastor, reverend, deacon and other religious ministers, I am respectfully open and accepting of all traditions and seeing them all as equal paths. I work with a diverse group of co-officiants to create a balanced and harmonious wedding.

Together, we will create a unique ceremony that will make your special day a day you will cherish and remember in your hearts forever.

A+ - SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on my Interfaith Ceremony with her and my Husband's childhood Pastor. Also our Ketubah Ceremony. She is lovely, she is so funny, so many compliments, and she really truly works with you to create your perfect ceremony. I love that she gives you a copy in a binder at the end! I can't recommend her enough.

There are no words nearly powerful enough to express my gratitude towards Sara. She is truly a special human being. I was having a terrible morning the morning of my wedding and in walked Sara. I felt so much better just having her there. Although I had only met her once previously during our initial consult, I communicated regularly with her via email and she followed me on Facebook. I felt as if I had known her my whole life. She instantly calmed me down and walked my soon to be husband and I through the entire ceremony one more time. Our ceremony and ketubah signing could not have gone any better. Her little quips and attention to detail are unparalleled. People thought she was my rabbi that I've known my whole life. She spoke about Rob and I with such confidence and ease and made all the non-jews at my ceremony feel welcomes and privileged. I love her more than she will ever realize. For anyone who is having an interfaith wedding, Sara is flat out the best person to use for the job. Her warmth will make everyone feel welcomed. Thank you Sara for everything.

We cannot thank Rabbi Sara enough! People have not stopped talking about our wedding ceremony and I got to see my grandpa cry for the first time. I am Jewish and my wife is Chinese. Rabbi Sara did a beautiful job of combining our family values into a joined wedding ceremony.

The day of the wedding was very hectic and my wife and I were very nervous, but once Rabbi Sara arrived she did a great job of keeping us calm, comfortable, and making sure everything was taken care of. She also made the ceremony personal and customized our vows exactly the way we imagined them.
